Hon. A. j. P~ARsnALL, OF the Han
son County Advocate, who ably re-
pescnted his district in the legisla-
ture Of 1856, has been making d trip
in North Dakota, and on his return
e~ditoralizos as follows: "There is
no mistaken the strong division sen.
timent growing in North Dakota.
A trip through that section and talk
with its leading men who have felt
the public pulse on the question,
should convince the most skeptic.
The difference of opinions between
the divisionists in the north and
south is but n mere trifie that could
be easily adjusted at a meeting Of
the leaders in both sections. Let a
conference be had at an early date
and plans be devised for IL vigorous
campaign. While there is no hope
that the next session of congress will
do anything for Dakota more than
to evade our just demand for divis-
ion and admission or the right of
home rule, we can by our votes con-
convince it and the whole nation
that we favor two Dakotas by an
overwhelming majority. It Is not
only in justice to ourselves but to the
whole northwest that when Dakota
is admitted it be two states instead
Of one. Let us stick to the issue If
it takes another ten years. Right
will prevail and victory be ours in
the final reckoning

Mana ging for Eggs.

In relation to failures in the care of
fowls, the Dakota Farmer says:
Whrn the poutryman has made hi
operations and begun his operations,
he is often disappointed at not receiv-
ing fair return in eggs for the atten.
tion and care bestowed. The mainrit,
Of failures arise with those who have
given the fowls all they can eat, and,
with liberal supply of ground oyster
shells, ground bone, gravel, fresh water
and green food, no eggs reward the
perse. ering poultryman. The cause
of failure is that the hens are overfed.
1t is always a mistake to keep food be-
fore them, and, though variety should
be given, care must be exercised not
to feed full meal except at night. II
the food is so given that the hens will
not be satisfied with the quantity they
have received they will hunt for more,
and keep busily at work. This avoids
idleness and prevents them from pull
ing feathers or becoming too fat. In
the morning the soft food may be Civ
IN, but it is best not to give quite
enough rather than a full allowance.
Then scatter few grains in cut straw
dirt or litter, and let them get to work
scratching AT night give full meal.
BY keeping the hens warm, busy and
in moderate condition they will lay
well

Cure for Frozen Feet.

For years suffered great pain dur
ing the spring on account of frozen
feet. My feet were frozen severely
once, and as result they froze easily
afterward. When the first warm
weather came, the itching would be al
most intolerable, and the flesh so ten
der that / could not wear shoe, no
matter how large, l tried turpentine,
spirits of camphor, coal oil, etc, and
all the liniments for frozen fee, that |
could hear of, and yet had no relief.
One day friend gave me the follow
ing recipe: ''Put enough boiling
water in pail to cover your feet; in
this dissolve all the powdered alum
possible as soon as you can bear it,
place your feet in the water and soak
them for two hours, adding hot water
and alum as the water in the pail cools
keeping it as hot as it can be borne" !"
] tried this one evening, and the next
morning drew on my boots (somethine
] had not done for eeks), though nv
feet were little sore by noon this
soreness was all gone, and had no
more trouble that season. / have
frozen my feet several times since, bnt
as soon as they became painful, tried
the hot water ard alum bath, and it
has never failed to effect cure Cor.

Why Shoes Are Thrown at Weddings.

The custom of throwing one or more
old shoes after the bride and or ,om,
either when they go to church to be
married or when they start on their
wedding journey, is so old that the
memory of man stretches not back to
its beginning. Some think 1t repre-
sents an assault, and is lingering
trace OF the Gust m among savage ma
tions of carrying away the bride by
violt nee; others think that it is a relic
of the ancient law of exchange or pur-
chase, and tha, il formerly implied the
surrender by the parents of all domin
ion or authority over their daughter.
1t has likeness to a Jewish custom
mentioned in the Bible. Thus in Deu-
'eronomy we read that when the bro.
iher OF dead man refused to marry
his widow rhe asserted her indeppnd
ence of him by "loosipg his shoe.
Also in Ruth, when the kinsman Of
l'oaz gave up his claim to the inheri-
tance Of Ruth and to Ruth also he in
dicated his assent by plucklng off his
shoe and giving it to Boaz. 1t was
also the custom Of the middle ages to
place the husbands shoe on the head
of the nuptial couch, in token of his
domination.

A Lion Tanners Nerve.

Crockett made the greatest name for
himself OF any lion tanner, not in Eng
land alone, but in France, Germany y
and America. 81 remember" saws
Archibald Forbes, "the time when the
six lions were loose at one time in Asst
lcy's. The Sangers had sent the beast $
M from Edmonton on the night before.
Nobody to this day knows how they
got out OF their dens; but it was
thought at the time that some one Of
the grooms-with whom the manager
was very unpopular, he used to fine
them 30 mercilessly-had let them
loose maliciously, that they might get
at the horses. There they were, any
how, loose in the place, smelling the
horses, and mad to get at them. They
had already killed man, and had eat
en- him when Crockett arrived. With.
out hating an instant, he dashed in
among them single-handed, with only
a switch in his hand. and I'm blest il
he didn't manage to den them all single
handed. That was nerve for you"

An Arab Theatre in Cairo.

Large rose colored bills posted on
the doors announced that the troupe of
Abou Chaile .el Kabbani, of Damas,
was TO give series of performances Of
the love tragedy Of "Emir Mahmoud,"
in the presence Of the nobility and
gentry Of the neighborhood. The
theatre was crammed, il presented a
picturesqe scene. The gallery was
filled with the white turbans and blue
smocks of the lower classes. The gen.
try, dressed in colored stambouines or
black cafian and fez occupied the pit.
AS for the boxes, they were set apart
for the nobility, who were all in ire
proachable European costumes. No
ladies were there save two English
girls iu stage box, probably daughters
of an officer belonging to the army of
occupation. Loud gossip and laughter
rose from all sides. The purveyors of
refreshments kept up most internal
din. The theatre was sitting with the
smoke of cigarettes
AT length the curtain rose, but it
was some time before the actors could
get hearing. They were attired as
Bedouins, and gesticulated furiously.
There were no actresses, the female
roles being played by young men, as is
the custom in the east. Ii was the
same with the ballet, the girls being
replaced by youths, who where got up
SO skillfully thai at certain distance
the delusio1 was complete. The audi
ence applauded not with their hands
but with their feet and walking sticks.
The delivery of the actors was the
most monotonous and somnoent that
could be imagined. The solemn, com
ic, or tender passages were all given in
the same tone Ip short, their acting
resembled that of a child who has
learned fable by heart and recites it
without any knowledge of what he is
saying. The singing was of the sane
kind it was one monotonous nasal
howl or shrek, which either drove YOU
to sleep or-out of the theatre. For

A Dull Boy"

One remarkable point in the career
of the late Henry Ward Beecher will
be noted by the hopeful and expectant
fathers of dull boys-the lateness OF
the period at which bis intellect began
to assume shape. This wonderful
orator, poet, actor and pulpiteer was
a dull boy. He loved TO wander in the
woods. He hated books, while he had
a warm side for nature. Al school he
was considered something of Ounce,
one biographer says. His desire for
reading was awakened by sensational
sea story, and he came near being a
sailor. Bot at that point the intellect
vivified, and out of the chrysalis came
the great man whose fame ii led the
world. Let not this Bit of history be
lost upon The parents who are anxious
ly watching the development of boys
who care more for fishing than for

RUsHIEG. To DEATH

In the attempt 10 swim the Niagara
Whirlpool Rapids is no more reckless or
dangerous than to trihe with disease
which each day secures q stronger hold
and hastens the end of life. This is
specially true Of rheumatism, neuralgia,
sciatica, and nervous headache, which
though perhaps slight at first are ex,
tremely dangerous, and steadily secure a
firmer grip until at last the agony is unen-
durable and sudden death brings relief.
These diseases can be cured by the use
Of Athlophoros which, in connection with
Athlophoros Pills, never fails when prop
erly used. Read the following from those
who have tested it.
c. A. Steward, Nelson, Pa, says: "Ath.
lophoros has saved my mothers life. Last
spring, two of the best physicians in the
county, said she could not live two months.
She had been helpless for year, had to be
lifted off and on the bed, limbs all drawn
out of shape, cords contracted, flesh sore to
the touch, could not be lifted or touched
without screaming aloud. The soreness is
all gone, the cords relaxed, appetite goot
and gaining every day, and / think few
more bottles will cure her."
New Haven, Conn.
had the neuralgia for three months in
my face. Went to the doctor; he gave me
some medicine to take internally and a
preparation of chloroform to put on the out
side, but it did not do any good. Could
not sleep night or day. Had suffered so
much and SO long that was afraid it
would drive me crazy. Was told to try
Athlophoros by party it had cured of the
rheumatism. After taking part of bottle
